In February 2018, bNg ran its first international medical camp — a free screening for Indian migrant construction workers at the L&T MTB Car Park Project, Abu Dhabi. Two partners stood with us: L&T Construction (the Tata Group affiliate that employed the workers) and Ahalia Hospitals (the UAE's leading healthcare chain).
The L&T site is a vast steel-and-concrete project under desert sun. Workers from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, and Punjab share dormitories, send remittances home, and rarely see a doctor between annual visa medicals.
For two days, a tent at the edge of the Multi-storey Tower Block car park became a free clinic. Three banners — L&T Construction, Ahalia Hospitals, bNg — went up at the entrance. Doctors, nurses and bNg karyakartas screened over 200 workers for blood pressure, blood sugar, vision, oral health, and general fitness. Each worker left with a printed report, a basic medication kit if needed, and a handshake.
No worker paid anything. No employer was billed. The camp was funded entirely by L&T's CSR arm, executed entirely by Ahalia clinical staff, and held together logistically by bNg karyakartas — including translators who covered Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Bhojpuri.
For the founders, the trip validated a quiet conviction: the bNg model is not about geography. It is about Indian dignity in motion. Wherever Indian workers serve, bNg follows. The Abu Dhabi camp set the template for every CSR partnership we now run with construction, manufacturing, and IT employers.
